Sony announced that the Nathan Drake Collection (PS4) and Goat Simulator (PS4) will be free for PS+ members during January 2020. The Nathan Drake Collection is a compilation of three games which technically means that players will get a total of four games in January. Not a bad way to start the year. Here is…
REVIEW – Super Korotama (PS4)
Recreating a Japanese arcade game, Super Korotama is easy to pick-up-and-play but will drive you crazy (in a good way) from the seemingly simple challenge. From a flat perspective, the goal is to guide a magnetic ball to a specific hole on the game board by using both analog sticks to tilt a paddle. The…
Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge (GB) long play – Castlevania Anniversary Collection (Xbox One)
After beating The Castlevania Adventure on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection on Xbox One, I wanted to play the direct sequel Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge. Although it is a much better game than the first Gameboy original, it still is pretty tough. Yes, I total cheese the save states to finish the game and sweat a…
REVIEW – Down to Hell (Switch)
Playing as a knight that was saved by a random woman and wants to return the favor, Down to Hell is a combat-focused digital download with a demonic theme. From a presentation stand point, the game looks great and the heavy metal soundtrack sounds even better. Unfortunately, combat, which is the meat of the gameplay,…

REVIEW – Clumsy Rush (Switch)
Most easily described as a Mario Party mini-game presented as a full experience, Clumsy Rush is a multiplayer party title with limited appeal. You and a few friends take control of hippos that walk up right like humans. The gimmick, however, is controlling how these hippos move. Instead of just tilting the analog stick, each…
REVIEW – Odallus: The Dark Call (Xbox One)
Just like Oniken, Digerati and Joymasher released Odallus: The Dark Call, a new 8-bit NES style action platformer with some light RPG elements. Playing similarly to Castlevania 3, players take control of a father looking to take revenge with a big sword and several sub weapons. Luckily, Odallus is not as difficult as Oniken so…
REVIEW – Oniken: Unstoppable Edition (Xbox One)
What can easily be mistaken for a legit lost NES game, Oniken: Unstoppable Edition on Xbox One plays similarly to action classics like Ninja Gaiden, Contra, or Shinobi. This is an authentic old-school experience right down to the limited 8-bit color palette, chiptune soundtrack, and brutally high difficulty. Playing as a badass ninja with a…
VIDEO – Nintendo 3DS Theme – Animal Crossing Winter Frolics walkthrough
Currently available for 100 Platinum Coins via the MyNintendo program, this video is a quick demonstration of the Animal Crossing Winter Frolics theme. It is a dynamic theme, meaning the bottom screen is animated, and there is a sound effect that plays when the system wakes from sleep mode.
